Butoh Dance | Intensive Workshop | Mirjam Morad

Butoh is a Japanese avantgarde and spiritual dance form that developed in the late 50s. Butoh is not only a way to dance, but a way to live – NOW. The dance is about opposites such as creation and destruction, life and death, woman and man, beauty and ugliness, brightness and darkness, heat and cold, ... extremes we also find in the desert.

Inspired by surrounding nature we will start mirroring the outer and inner landscape. The individual Butoh dance process of inside – outside starts and your very own move­ment will emerge. A new dance is born through body perception, inner impulses, images, feelings, emotions, voice and form till transformation.
